Excel opens to a blank screen. Docs can be opened through File>Open. I tried selecting in Excel Options>Ignore other Apps that use DDE, but that didn’t work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I tried out everything mentioned in here but no joy till now. The second file too opens up on the same monitor and not as i want, on the second monitor. I am using MS Office EXCEL 2007. Also, should there be a space after /e to add “%1″ or do we add the “%1″ after the /e without a space.

Further, in the list of file types I have a XLS (microsoft office excel 97-2003 worksheet) and a XLSX (microsoft office excel worksheet) mentioned against each. Do I have to add the “%1″ under both types.

Also, after I had added the “%1″ under both file types, the “OK” on the first screen shot (i.e. the folder options menu window) changes to Close and the Apply tab remains inactive. Would that have anything to do with the system not accepting the changes. I am at my wits end to set this up. Please help me.

There seems to be some confusion here. Are the changes mentioned above for Excel 2003 or 2007 version. The screen shot above says XLS file the folder option. But if you are using Excel 2007 you get XLSX file as well. I tried to make the necessary changes in both, but it doesnt work. Need more help please. This is getting on my nerves as I have a lot of work to do on excel with multiple files open. Any help is welcome, help pleeeeeaaaase.

Are you able to link between the two separate instances that you have opened?

Go to ‘File’ on each one and open up each of the two .xls spreadsheets you require. ‘Viola’, you now have two separate instances you can work with on dual screens. Not sure if you would be able to link between them though.
